Don’t forget that when you’re walking your dog during the warmer months, they don’t have the same protection on their feet that you do! 🌞🐶

Make sure to check the temperature before you head outside. If it’s too hot, keep walks short and stick to grassy areas. Do your best to take long walks during the cooler parts of the day such as early morning or evening. 🌙

If your pup has cracked or damaged paws from exposure, consider a paw balm, like Mushers or Bag Balm to help moisturize, heal, and protect paw pads. 🐾
